With reference to Judge Sotomayor (above), when one hears from
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, from the Deep South State of
Alabama, question the "fairness" of this Supreme Court nominee, Judge
Sotomayor, who, incidentally, has a "rich history" of SEVENTEEN years
on the bench from trial to appellate Judge - when the Senator from
Alabama (he now calls himself "Jeff" Sessions) implies that Judge
Sotomayor has a "prejudice" when she makes her decisions - and when,
Lindsey Graham, the Senator from South Carolina (which broke with the
Union, started the Civil War and still believes they won), this man who
fills Strom Thurmond's seat, has the effrontery to indolently lean on
his elbow and slur to this public citizen who has accomplished almost
two decades of laudable judicial service - "Unless you have a complete
meltdown, you're going to be confirmed ("now let's see if my buddy
Beauregard from Alabama can generate that meltdown")!" One might ask
"how is it that these losers from South Carolina and Alabama (To
repeat, President Obama annihilated the worst GOP ticket in scores of
years, the pairing of John Sidney McCain III and Sarah Palin), even so,
how is it that Sessions, Graham and McCain are given so much time on
television? The answer is simple. General Electric owns NBCUniversal,
Disney owns ABC, Leslie Moonves runs CBS, and PBS is literally funded
and controlled by such trusts as the Annenberg Foundation, The
Annenberg School of Journalism at USC, and the Annenberg Public Policy
Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Such coverage gives
Republicans, no matter how reprehensible, positive coverage across the
spectrum. It provides the license for a South Carolina Senator to
advise Judge Sotomayor that although such a character as Kenneth Starr
may have supported her approach and decisions, Lindsey Graham remains
adamant. What she has written and said "has bugged the hell out of me
(Lindsey Graham)"!
